Distractions are everywhere, they’re outside in the street, in our own home, on our TVs, on our computers, phones, you can even find distractions in the library, but don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to revise and avoid any interruptions.
If you’re revising for an important test in your bedroom, and your whole family are in the house, let them know that you’re revising. Tell them how much time you need to be left in peace. If there are noises disrupting your revision, you can wear headphones, perhaps listen to music that helps to ease your mind.
Turn all of your devices off (except the mp3 player). Mobile phones and tablets can be some of the most disrupting devices, especially if you’re a frequent social media user. It’s not just a case of turning it on silence because we know if the screen lights up you’re bound to check any activity.
If you’re using the computer avoid social media websites and websites which divert your attention. Think of the internet as a library, and use it for its resources, there will be 6 weeks of school holidays after your exam to catch up on your favourite websites and watch endless TV shows, so don’t let them ruin your exams.
